Project: Fountain in courtyard
Garden design: Jeanine Groen
Location: Residential complex in Oldershove, Wehl
Client: Dinxperlo Housing Association
Year: 2007-2008

Oldershove is a residential complex consisting of a nursing home and independent accommodation for the elderly. The courtyard of Oldershove has been created along clean lines of construction. From the building a straight line of sight extends into the garden. The site shows the remains of excavations of a Roman farm, and the Zebra fountain is inspired by mosaic floors from this period. The Zebra (5 x 11 metres), that stands in this line of sight, is surrounded by a square of lime trees. The floor is made up of black and white granite plates, each strip 5 metres long and one metre wide. Fountains set into the natural stone spray water in a constantly changing rhythm, giving the impression that the sprays are dancing and springing back and forth over the Zebra, hopping and skipping, creating a floor that is full of life and movement.
